Magix Movie Studio 2025 TRIAL

AnnTH wrote on 4/13/2025, 4:27 PM

I cannot get this software to run at all.I am using Windows Pro 10 with 3 internal drives. The C: drive is a fast MVMe.The E: drive is used for general storage and the D: drive is a 240GB SATA which I do all my video editing on. It is always cleaned of my work after I have made a film so it is empty to begin a new project when needed. I have contacted the builders of my Tower PC and told them of some problems I was having. Adobe software refuses to recognise my 2 Asus burners so they told me to go into Device Manager and update all the drivers for most devices. I did this but everything is still the same. My Graphix card is an Nvidia GT 70 bought last year after the original one failed. Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 15.0 is working correctly so that is the only one I can use at the moment. Please can you help me to get the this program to work properly. I am at my wits end. Ann T-H

Hi Ann

Is that a typing error? An nvidia GT 70? If it isn't a typo and the rest of the specs of the computer mentioned in previous posts is what is currently trying to run the program then there is a possibility the computer just doesn't have enough grunt to run the program effectively.

It would help tremendously if you could give us your computer's complete specification. The last specification we were told was

Win 7 OS, 64 bit Intel (R) Core(TM) i5-2300cpu @ 2.8GHz 300GHz.
It has 8 GB RAM

But that was Rob's machine. I don't think we ever got Ann's.

Hi Ray, Thank you for replying. I have updated my Profile completely explaining that my husband has died but I am carrying on doing video because it keeps my brain working. I use his email address to remember him and save me from creating another one.Yes, I am sorry about the info about a Win 7 OS. That was obviously my husbands many years ago. Mine is as follows from a Belarc printout a week ago. Op System Win 10 Pro. Processor:- 3.6 gigahertz Intel Core i9-9900KF No memory cache 64-bit ready Multi-core (8 total) Hyper-threaded (16 total). C:drive is Samsung 970Evo Plus 1TB NVMe. D:drive is 240GB Sata SSD used for video only. E:drive is 2TB Sata HDD used for general use. 16304 Megabytes Usable Installed Memory. Controllers: Intel(R) 300 Series Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller. NVIDIA GeForce GT 710. (Display adapter). I hope that I have given you enough info to find out what is going wrong. Thank you

Hi Ann.

Sorry I wasn't aware as I just looked at the few previous posts to try to get a handle on what may have been a problem. The GT 710 video card may not have recent driver updates and could be one cause of the problems. Support for Kepler based nvidia cards officially ended in 2023.

The KF variant of the i9-9900 processer does not have it's own graphics chip so no help there.

What you could try is to go into the program settings via the top tool bar in the program and go to

Program settings / Program, and open the device options tab and change all the settings for import, processing and export to use the CPU. Depending on the file types used and resolution of the project it may or may not work better. If the program at least works but not well then I'm afraid you may have to replace your graphics card to something newer.

The other option is to try to enable Microsoft WARP device instead of CPU in the above settings page mentioned.

I have found though the results can be mixed. You could also try a mixture of both those choices with say two set to CPU and one to Microsoft WARP device. Try mixing the settings up to see if one works better than another set of settings.

Please let us know how you get on.

Ray.

Hi Ray, I will try some of the things you have suggested but I must admit that some of the other things you mentioned I do not have a clue about. I feel like complaining to the builders of my PC that they should have offered a better replacement Graphics card when it was replaced last year. All my specifications to them on the original build was video orientated. I will have to try tonight because I am helping a femail friend in the computer group I have been going to for 25 years. She has just changed internet providers today and i am helping her to setup a very ancient club PC running Windows 7. I will be in touch soon. Thank you. Ann.

Hi Ann

The GT710 cannot be used by Movie Studio to do decoding/processing/encoding of video, it does not support a Nvidia feature called NVENC.

. . . . I feel like complaining to the builders of my PC that they should have offered a better replacement Graphics card when it was replaced last year. . . . .

The graphics card was released in 2014 and IMHO is not a good match for the processor which was released in 2019.

. . . . recognise my 2 Asus burners . . . .

Can you see the 2 DVD burners in Windows File Explorer?

If not, what make/model are they?

Do note that the trial version has some restrictions, mainly in features available, video formats supported and it may also be restricted to export 3 mins of video only.
